    You are 83 inches long, and no bunk is over 80 inches (as far as I know).

    Do the math.

    And, don't get stuck in a Volvo 670, because at 6'1" I am cramped.
    You would be cork-screwed.

    You're 6'11"??? Wow. You must have a hard time in some buildings...... Let alone a truck!! Not sure a KW T660 or W900 would be good for you to try to stand in either. 6'11"'and 340 lbs. Let us know who you decide to go with so we don't accidentally piss you off!!!! In any case good luck with your new career!

    I'm a pretty easy going guy. It takes a lot to get me mad but if someone is trying to get me mad I just show em that I can palm a cinderblock and that's usually good enough to send em on their way :)

    Too bad companies stopped putting the larger beds in their sleepers.

    You definitely won't be stretching all the way out. If that's not a problem for you it'll be ok. I'm 6'5" and can stretch all the way and still have a couple inches at each end.
     
    Sam Hell and DrtyDiesel Thank this.

    You'll fit if you lie in the fetal position!! Advoid sucking your thumb, sir!! You too big for that!! And did you say you were with a trainer?? If so, see if they'll be a sport and give you the bottom bunk!! Then you can stretch out a little better!! If they don't want to cooperate they show them you mean business by holding a hard boiled egg in front of there face and tell them they give you gas but you love to eat them!! Trust me it works every time!!
